Governing Body Self Evaluation and Review of the Chair

This course will familiarise board members with the 6 key features of effective governance; Strategic Leadership, Accountability, People, Structures, Compliance and Evaluation and consider how the Chair and the board should use these principles to undertake a thorough and robust self-evaluation of their effectiveness. Ofsted also takes a close interest in the effectiveness of governance which they then use to inform their overall judgements of leadership. By the end of the course learners will be able to

• Identify resources and tools for self-evaluation and a 360 Review of the Chair • Identify sources of support to assist in delivering change • Construct an action plan to improve focus and develop governance

This course combines a mixture of activity and discussion to achieve maximum benefit for all learners. It is also a practical course that is designed to develop the skills and behaviours that builds the confidence and assertiveness of governors.

This course for governors is led by Alan Richards who is a National Leader of Governance and is suitable for academy and maintained school governors, not just chairs.

16th May 2019 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at the Holiday Inn, Dodworth
